The second edition of Treating the Criminal Offender was written in
an atmosphere of disillusionment and severe criticism of the
traditionalist ap proach to treatment. As crime rates soared, the
voices of the critics rose in volume and intensity. And so, this
third edition-revised toward the end of the decade of the
1980s-embodies the shift in emphasis from rehabilitating the
offender to protecting the community. This shift, in our opinion,
does not reject the goal of changing the of fender so as to effect
his reintegration into society; it uses the strategy of intensive
supervision and surveillance only to effect the desired goal. The
use of electronics to monitor the offender's whereabouts and the
swift ap plication of punitive measures following. the awareness of
any violation are extrinsic techniques of control. It is our
opinion that for the deep, more lasting changes in behavior, some
form of casework, counseling, and/or psy chotherapeutic
intervention is essential. We are the cohorts who believe in the
effectiveness of such treatment modalities when and if applied to
the right target population at the appropriate time."
